Wow, I have rarely seen a thread on SB where the vast majority of posters are in agreement regarding an ill-advised diving practice. That alone speaks volumes as to the advisability of doing it.

Personally I DID however call him a <flame> (it was edited by the mods) but I truely believe he is what I called him and that he need to be told in the least blunt possible way to get a grip and not endangering other people and on top of it think that "liability is not a concern".Calling idiocy "idiocy" is not flaming. There are actions which are so egregiously stupid and irresponsible that to not call them out as such is itself to share in that irresponsibility.
But what's really funny is that the people you are calling out for flaming your egregiously irresponsible suggestion are stating that they can't believe anyone would be that stupid. Do you really want to assure us that they are wrong?
This is a flame free zone. Your personal attacks are unappreciated.
Please show respect and courtesy at all times.
Devon, you're a moderator. You should know better.
Rather than showing me the way or suggesting to expand my training, or linking me to suggested courses I should take, so far this has happened instead:
1.) Personal attacks
2.) Attacks on credibility
3.) Disobeyance of board rules by administrative faculty
Not true. You've been given some very good advice by no fewer than a half-dozen very experienced instructors ... and in each case you blew it off as though it were inconsequential.
You'll do what you decide to do, and no advice by anyone is going to prevent it.
I've not attacked you, or called you names ... nor have the majority of the instructors who have tried talking some sense into you. As for the board rules ... you agreed to abide by them when you joined the board. Whatever you feel your qualifications are for doing dumb and dangerous things, you still have a responsibility to post according to the terms you agreed to.
Diving ... like posting in this forum ... involves a nominal amount of personal responsibility. I don't see any evidence that you understand what that term means ...

Thank you Bob, I appreciate the constructive rather than destructive criticism. I may just choose to heed your very advise, purely because you were a pretty nice guy about it.
Devon's stalking and namecalling? Very unprofessional.
